Top 10 Best Golden Age Project

Vintage Style electronics, no intergrated circuits in the signal pathEnough gain to handle passive ribbon mics with quiet sound sourcesGAINLINE mode switch, gain is reduced by 30 dB in LINE modeSelectable two position high frequency AIR boost eq, 3 or 6 dB 30 kHzSelectable 6 dBoctave two frequency high pass filterTantalum capacitors in the signal pathSwitchable impedance in MIC modeSwitchable phantom power and absolute phaseA high-impedance instrument inputA simple but effective 4-step LED o. The signal path uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors and transistors. The input and output is transformer balanced, using two different transformers, each one optimized for its purpose. This is the way audio components were built before integrated circuits became available. The circuit used in the PRE-73 MKIII is similar to the preamp section in the classical 1073 module with a corresponding sound character that is warm, punchy, sweet and musical.

Active Tube Ribbon Mic with Figure-8 Polar Pattern. 12AX7 Buffer Amp.

Single-channel Vintage-style Compress with Transfmer-balanced IO. Selectable Sidechain Filter Frequencies. Stereo Link Option.

Single-channel MicInstrument Preamp with 70dB of Gain. Polarity Invert. Phantom Power.

Unmatched natural musical sound of a classical ribbon microphone combined with the constent sound quality offered by addition of active electronics. The typical large and mellow ribbon sound quality with a very smooth top end and an extended low end. A BipolarFET descrete low-noise amplifier with a low impedance transformer less output stage, powered by standard 48V phantom power. It raises the level and isolates the ribbon and gain make-up transformer from the outside world. Removable microphone cable and padded case included. Switchable -10db pad and 100hz low cut filter.

1-channel 500 Series MiclineInstrument Preamp with 80dB of Mic Gain. LED Output Level Meter. Switchable Impedance. Phantom Power. DI.

Vintage style electronics. No integrated circuits in the main audio signal path.. Transformer balanced input and output. Can drive almost any load, balanced or unbalanced. The maximum output level is 25 dBu.. Uses an integrated optocoupler to control gain. The fastest attack time is about 1 ms.. Very simple to operate with only two main controls, Gain Makeup and Gain Reduction..

No integrated circuits in the signal path Transformer-balanced input and output Selectable output transformer loading resistors by an internal T4-style electro-optical attenuator Very simple to operate with only two main controls, Gain and Peak Reduction A big meter shows gain reduction or output level at two different reference levels Hardwire bypass switch for easy comparisons XLR and TRS input and output jacks for flexible connections Link jack and switch for conne. The COMP-3A is a single-channel vintage-style CompressorLeveler. The signal path uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors and transistors, and the input and output is transformer balanced using two different transformers, each one optimized for its purpose. This is the way audio components were built before integrated circuits became available. Integrated circuits are small and cheap and widely used in most modern designs.
